This report covers the Fall 1985, spring 1986 and Summer 1986 academic semesters. The organizational framework of Operation Success consists of three components: the Tutorial Cozponent, the Cultural Enrichment Activittes Component and the Research and Evaluation Component. As seen in the illustration on page oae, thl three components of Operation Success are complementary. Together the components provide a supportive framework for assisting disadvantaged students in successfully completing their college education. The Tutorial Component is the backbone of the program through which individualized tutoring is made available to enrollees. The Cultural Component sponsors activities, to foster cultural respect and appreciation providing students with extra-curricular learning experiences. The Research and Evaluation Component collects and analyzes both quantitative and qualitative data to facilitate formulation of effective strategies to best serve the disadvantaged student. want to express my appreciation to Clara Freund, our Graduate Research Assistant, for her untiring and conscientious efforts in making yet another publication possible, Hercilia Recinos, Program Secretary for her efficient and accurate typing, and Tutor-Advisors, too many to mention, who contributed their creative and analytical skills. Their efforts throughout the various stages of preparing this seventh annual report have been most valuable. 41 11141de4e Deema de Silva Director iii 6 PROGRAM OBJECTIVESAND ORGANIZATION Model of Program Philosophy of theProgram Operational and UnifyingPrinciples Goals and Objectives Current Program WorkIdeals present OrganizationalChart Professional Developmentand Training Communication andPublicity History of the SpecialServices Program Profile of a TRIOSuccess Assessment and Accountability National TRIO rrofile Guidelines for Current Special ServacesPrograms Characteristics ofDisadvantaged Students 7 OPERATION SUCCESS SiJecial Services Program Wichita Stat.,.

In order to achieve this objective, tne program offers a wide range of opportunities for educational awareness through the three main components of Operation Success: the TIltorial Component, the Cultural Component, and the Research and Evaluation Compile-mit. All three components are designed to be mutually supportive. The Tutorial Component offers the unique opportunity at Wichita State University for individualized tutoring throughout each semester.A student who requests a Tutor is matched with a member of the tutorial staff who is qualified in that particular subject area. In addition to the tutorial assistance, each tutored student is monitored for progress by his or her Tutor and evluated by the Counselors. Assistance through the Tutorial Component covers tutoring in a wide range of classes. These include Eoglish, foreign languages such as Spanish and German, Mathematics, Sciences like Chemistry and Biology, and more. Thus, students who are underprepared for some college level courses or those who request advanced course assistance obtain tutoring to successfully complete these courses. The Tutorial Component also features counseling for students through their Tutors. Whenever appropriate, Tutor-Advisor devotes part of the session time to peer counseling. Peer counseling entails being a good listener and empathizer in order to clarify t sues in a student's life which would affect academic performance. An integral part of the program is exposure to a variety of educational and cultu:al activities. The Cultural Component organizes educational visits to institutions of higher learning, and to seminars by visiting 2 1 0 0 faculty members or counselors. The major portion of this component is made up of events designed to promote cross-cultural understanding, such as ethnic food-sampler parties. An important event sponsored by Operation Success is the annual °Cultural Spring Fling.°This event features music, dancing, costumes, and foods representative of many different cultures. All of these activities are designed to encourage interaction between diverse ethnic groups and provide opportunizies

    The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon Preserving the traditions of Folk Music, Folk Lore, and Gentle Folk Ways www.RestonHerndonFolkClub.com Volume 24, Issue 10 October 2008 October 14 Showcase – Dumb Muscle & the Divas By Dan Grove The Divas – “C” Culpepper, Ann Granger, and Mary Catherine (“MC”) Williams – are harmonizing singers with talent, attitude, and charm. They are accompanied by Dan (“Dumb Muscle”) Grove on guitar and bass. The group formed at the Folk Club in 2005. MC met Dan and Ann, and later introduced her neighbor C. They didn’t know what to call themselves, but when Nina Anmahian Lantis heard Dan say “You divas will have to figure it out, I’m just dumb muscle,” she said, “That’s it!” All three Divas have been singing their whole lives. MC sang in school and church groups all over the world, from Japan to the Ivory Coast and from Lebanon to Norway. C sang in bands as well as school and church groups, met her husband in a choir while in college, and teaches private voice lessons. MC and C also perform with Herndon’s Towne Square Singers. Ann sang to her kids and for herself, but hadn’t performed in public before her Folk Club debut three years ago (which is probably why she’s the only member of the group without a nickname – the audience is welcome to supply her with one!). Dan has been a Folk Club irregular for many years. He occasionally commits songwriting, and leads a monthly song critique for the Songwriters’ Association of Washington (SAW).
